Small And Good For Cleaning Up?

[stevereade]

Just wondered if there are any small cory's that are good for cleaning up my sandy substrate, I have a fully planted tank and I get a lot of rubbish round the roots in the densely planted areas and want something small to clean up a little, the tank is an 80L nano with tetra, apple snails and cherry shrimp???

Ottos (not corys) or Sterbai Corys

Pygmy corys.
Theres 3 types given the common name
corydoras hastatus
corydoras habrosus
corydoras pygmaeus
All of which should be fine. Panda corys stay quite small aswell.

C. sterbai are far from tiny. At maturity, if raised well, they can grow quite large. - Frank

I agree. Ive got 6 C. sterbai who are approaching the 2.5-3" mark. I cant remember who I got them from
